Dekota,

Very nice. Love the reference to CSN. I'm trying to get my brain and fingers to work out the finger style that you do so well here. Well done!! Nice Guild by the way.

Nice technique

Wow, that wasn't just good -- it was out-freaking-standing! If you were scared shirtless, it sure doesn't show in your playing.

Nicely played! Very smooth!

Excellent first video. I hope mine is as good :)

I'm not familiar with this song, but I really enjoyed your playing.

Try relaxing your right hand a little, it seems a little clawed (not that it stops you playing well...)

LOVED IT!! So much so that I'd really like the tab if you're able to send it. I'll pm you my address.

Video was good quality, audio was good as well.

Technique seemed good as well- although Neil suggests that your picking hand be angled with your fingers more towards the floor (something I always need reminding of).

Really great stuff! Why haven't you posted vids before??

Wowha Dekotaj! Magnificent job on one of my all time favourite songs. That'll be the day when I get this down! Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of TG video posters! Pizza for you (or has that been abolished while I was away?) ;-)

Hi Dakotaj,

I would never guess that was a first post, I thought it was great.
